Facebook Messenger Now Lets You Send Money With Transferwise

Facebook have just integrated TransferWise with Messenger. So if you’re a TransferWise customer, you can send money – and set up rate alerts – without ever leaving the comfort of Facebook’s Messenger app. Sending money internationally can now be done while chatting online with friends and family as money exchange service.

Money can be sent to people in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and Europe directly through the messaging app. As TransferWise gains feedback, it will eventually expand the service to more than 50 countries and 600 routes.

While Scott Miller, head of partnerships at TransferWise, says the bot will take the same amount of time as using the company’s website to complete a transfer, the convenience of being able to stay within the app rather than navigating to another website was a big motivator for developing the system.

In the United States Facebook already allows its users to send money domestically via its Messenger app but has not yet launched similar services internationally. TransferWise said its service will be the first to enable international money transfers entirely within Facebook Messenger.
